py3: convert encoding name and mode to str Otherwise tolocal() and fromlocal() wouldn't work on Python 3. Still tolocal() can't make a valid localstr object because localstr inherits str, but it can return some object without raising exceptions. Since Py3 bytes() behaves much like bytearray() than str() of Py2, we can't simply do s/str/bytes/g. I have no good idea to handle str/bytes divergence.

pycompat: extract function that converts attribute or encoding name to str This will be used to convert encoding.encoding to a str acceptable by Python 3 functions. The source encoding is changed to "latin-1" because encoding.encoding can have arbitrary bytes. Since valid names should consist of ASCII characters, we don't care about the mapping of non-ASCII characters so long as invalid names are distinct from valid names.

pycompat: provide 'ispy3' constant We compare version_info at several places, which seems enough to define a constant.

Added signature for changeset 149433e68974

Added tag 3.9.2 for changeset 149433e68974

extensions: add a note about debug output during extensions search These messages do not show up when one use '--debug'. This is quite confusing so we clarify the situation next to the 'ui.debug' call.

extensions: fix a debug message when searching for extensions The "next" value was wrong. When 'hgext.NAME' is not found we now search for 'hgext3rd.NAME'.

dirstate: rebuild should update dirstate properly Updating dirstate by simply adding and dropping files from self._map doesn't keep the other maps updated (think: _dirs, _copymap, _foldmap, _nonormalset) thus introducing cache inconsistency. This is also affecting the debugstate tests since now we don't even try to set correct mode and mtime for the files because they are marked dirty anyway and will be checked during next status call.

histedit: avoid converting nodeid to context and back again It looks like this became unnecessary in e767f5aba810 (histedit: fix preventing strips during histedit, 2015-04-04).

help: mark boolean flags with [no-] to explain that they can be negated That is, help gets tweaked thus: global options ([+] can be repeated): -v --[no-]verbose enable additional output Other proposals have included: global options ([+] can be repeated, options marked [?] are boolean flags): -v --verbose[?] enable additional output and global options ([+] can be repeated, options marked [^] are boolean flags): -v --verbose[^] enable additional output which avoid the unfortunate visual noise in this patch. In this version's favor, it's consistent with what I'm used to seeing in man pages and similar documentation venues.
